With free agency and the combine fast approaching, itÆs fun to consider what moves the 49ers could make this off-season. Outside of Julius Peppers and Carlos Dansby, this free agent class doesnÆt have much to offer. The draft, on the other hand, is loaded with potential and could prove very beneficial to the 49ers, considering the team has two first round picks.
